UC Berkeley 2023 Applicants Thread

A UCSD rep came to my school and said any test without writing will not be looked at. I am not sure if this holds true for all schools, hopefully it doesn’t!

@Achen41 Unfortunately, I think they only look at the best score with writing. They also don’t superscore which sucks for me cause one time I did well at math and another time I did well at English

Can’t wait to be rejected like all the other UC’s I applied to!! If I get rejected from UCB I’ll officially be saying sayonara to California so this should be WONDERFUL.

What time do you all think UCB will release decisions?

@jayp123 Judging by last year’s timeline, we should start seeing decisions posted around 3-3:30PM PST.

Is it rare for a student with decent stats but stellar EC and LOR to get admitted into COE?

Depends. The admissions committee make a decision based on your entire situation

According to the UC Berkeley twitter the results will be posted sometime before 11:59pm PST

Hi guys I am an international A-level student and so since my IGCSE exams (grades 9-10) and now A-levels (grades 11-12) I never had to study history. Does this mean I am automatically disqualified from UC Berkeley admissions because I don’t meet the A-G subject criteria? thanks

Guys seriously 28 or before is so vague i just can’t wait for my decision’

it releases on 28th March sometime before 11:59pm PST @Smartypants112233

Ah - I forgot UC’s only took ACT with writing. DS got a 36 but not with writing. His score with writing was a 34.

@solidcashmoney I don’t think they can do that?

@lisalisae what about the SAT? Was that with or without essay?

@lisalisae Hey! I actually replied to you on the USC thread a bit ago, because you had mentioned his rejection and FSU/UNC. They’re both great schools I’m also considering, AND I also have applied to Berkeley, AND I also live in Arkansas! The odds, am I right?

I hope your son has a good result from Berkeley - admissions are a crap shoot at this point and you never know that he might be what UCB’s looking for! Otherwise, he’s got a great variety of schools to choose from, as well. Best of luck!

Darn, I finally got inducted into the 4-address gang 2 days ago for the first time since I applied, and I got kicked right back into the 2-address gang this morning, lol.

Can’t wait to get denied from here like I did from UCSB!

Guys, what’s up with all the negativity? Let the chips fall where they may. In the mean time get excited about your top choice at the moment. But if this is your only venting outlet, I understand too. But try to calm your nerve. Best of luck to everyone! <3

And keep saying this to yourself: Any institution that you choose to go will be a fortunate one, any institution that doesn’t want you, it’s their loss.

Does anyone know what time decisions were released 2 years ago? Maybe releasing at 3:00 was a fluke?
